Brad Lichtenstein, ND, who supervises students at biofeedback counseling shifts at Bastyr Center for Natural Health, will facilitate the open-ended conversation that gives attendees the opportunity to take an honest look at the subjects of death and dying, often with complete strangers.

“These are open to anyone willing to take an honest look at how they’re living in the world, and who also want to get some ideas about caring for people who are dying,” he says.

Death Cafes at Bastyr Center for Natural Health are free and open to the public, and will take place from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesdays on the following dates:

May 28

June 25

September 17

October 22

To add to the light-hearted approach of the often heavy-hearted subject, Bastyr Center plans to stick with the international Death Cafe theme that states: “At Death Cafes people drink tea, eat cake and discuss death.”
